Methods: From 2258 participants (4516 images) aged 70 years and older who participated in the Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study (MCCS), digital non-stereoscopic 45° retinal photographs were taken with a Canon CR6-45NM Non-mydriatic Retinal Camera and evaluated. The quality of macular images was assessed as good, fair, and poor and McNemar's test was used to analyze variation in quality. Results: Gradable quality images were obtained from 95.8 eyes of participants, with 93.9 of participants..
